"They are not controlled by me... since when did I become controlled by them?" The emperor murmured to himself in the dragon chair.
Fang Xu wanted to stand up and comfort the emperor, but he was at a loss for words, so he had to kneel still.
The emperor sighed, "Sure enough, you can't rely too much on anyone... Once the person you rely on leaves, the building will collapse!"
"Call the imperial doctor... I don't believe it. There are hundreds of imperial doctors in such a large hospital, but one of them can be inferior to her?"
…
The emperor originally wanted to capture Wen Jin into the palace to control Xiao Yuchen.
Unexpectedly, this move forced him to take away his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren... and even cheated him.
Naturally, everyone in Tai Hospital has some abilities and is proud of their own medical skills.
But their decoction was extremely bitter in the mouth, so bitter that the emperor couldn't even eat the royal meal... The effect of the medicine was far less than that of the patent medicine sent by Wen Jin.
It's even better to light an incense stick made by her herself, it would be more effective!
The emperor was mentally exhausted and his temper became increasingly irritable.
The eunuchs and ministers who served the emperor truly understood that "accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger."
Mr. Huang only praised one sentence at the court meeting, "Because of the construction of women's schools, the unruly people in the south of the city are now obedient and diligent, living and working in peace and contentment without causing trouble."
For some reason, the emperor was furious, and he immediately ordered people to pull him out with twenty "court sticks".
After retiring from the court, the ministers talked a lot.
"The Sacred Heart has become more and more unpredictable recently. Mr. Huang didn't say anything wrong, so why..."
The so-called court staff is secondary to the pain, but mainly to the embarrassment!
Being stripped of their pants and slapped in public in public... For these courtiers, this was punishment and even more humiliating.
"Hey..." Everyone sighed and shook their heads.
Seeing Cai Xiang folding his hands, everyone remained silent and gathered around him.
"Please also ask Prime Minister Cai to give us some guidance, lest we say the wrong thing and end up with this court staff!"
Everyone bowed one after another with a very humble attitude.
Another minister said, "If Mr. Cai doesn't give you any advice, then we can only take leave and not come to the court meeting!"
Cai Xiang's drooped eyelids suddenly opened, "Yes, the one who took leave of absence due to illness..."
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, he whispered, "Prince Huai handed over his military power, claimed to be ill, and took leave of absence. The medicine specially prepared by Princess Huai as a tribute has also been cut off."
Everyone, you look at me and I look at you. Some smart people have already understood.
"Sir Huang, when you praise the construction of a women's school, isn't it the same as praising the concubine?"
"But Mr. Huang's original intention is to praise the emperor's wise rule. Only under the wise rule can the unruly people return to peace!"
"It's okay to sing praises to the Emperor, but don't take advantage of Prince Huai's Mansion..."
"Is this... a quarrel between father and son?"
"Isn't it possible? King Huai made great achievements by quelling the rebellion of the deposed prince. I thought he must be the candidate for the heir apparent..."
Prime Minister Cai immediately stopped everyone from talking with a heavy "cough cough".
Everyone immediately shut up, but they all secretly made up their minds - the emperor is old and moody, so they should say less and make less mistakes in the future!
The emperor was depressed in the palace and wanted to take advantage of Xiao Yuchen, but was reminded by Fang Xu, which probably chilled the hearts of the soldiers.
Xiao Yuchen's meritorious service in rescuing the driver has never been rewarded accordingly.
Wen Jin's meritorious service in running a girls' school was praised by the world...but he refused to reward and wanted to punish him.
He is now telling the world that Xiao Yuchen and Wen Jin have rebellion intentions?
I'm afraid the whole world will say that he is suspicious and has a villain's heart! If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother?
All the officials in the capital knew that Xiao Yuchen had even handed over military power and would not come to the court meeting.
Avoid suspicion and avoid this son... If he keeps holding on, even the courtiers will not be able to stand it, right?
But! He just felt that Xiao Yuchen and Wen Jin had no intention of giving up!
They will definitely make a comeback!
By that time, the situation will no longer be under his control!
"Xiao Yuchen has been bewitched by that woman and has completely lost his mind! I'm afraid that woman will ignore him and make her own decisions! He will also offer the seal with both hands!"
The emperor's heart aches!
He thought that in the future, the power of their Xiao family might be handed over to a woman by his son!
He had trouble sleeping and eating, and stayed up all night, which also made him have more headaches and become more irritable... It was a vicious cycle.
He wanted to see Master Huiji. The master said at the beginning that this woman could help his son! This woman is a blessed person!
If it weren't for Master Huiji, he wouldn't have agreed to Xiao Yuchen marrying Wen Jin at that time!
"Go! Summon Master Huiji to see you!"
"Back to the Emperor...Master Huiji is traveling around and is not in Kyoto."
Ah! The crowd is not in Kyoto! Get together and fight against him! He now suspects that Huiji was bribed by Wen Jin! This old bald ass! How dare you lie to him!
…
The emperor is trapped in a vicious cycle and cannot extricate himself.
But Xiao Yuchen's family of three were traveling around.
Xiao Yuchen said that he was well prepared, and it was indeed not a boast.
He actually brought a fake household registration to and from the official post and passed through the city. The fake household registration was not suspected at all!
The "dining and sleeping in the open" that Wen Jin expected did not exist at all!
Everywhere Xiao Yuchen went, someone greeted him. They seemed to have received the news early and had prepared the guest room early.
"Master Chen, Madam Chen, just stay here, just like your own home!" The host smiled and invited them into the guest room.
The host looked at Xiao Yuchen, not like he was looking at an "honored guest", but rather like looking at his "master", who was courteous and courteous.
Although Xiao Yuchen's new name on his household registration is "Chen".
But Wen Jin always felt that the Master Chen they called was actually "Master Chen".
The happiest person is Yu'er.
As a child who has never been out of Kyoto, you can imagine how excited it is to travel for the first time.
He and his two big cats jumped up and down every day, happy and unhappy.
Moreover, outside of Kyoto, there were many flowers and plants that he had never seen before. The weather was getting hot, and there were more snakes, rats, insects and ants.
Yu'er was immersed in his world and sighed every day, "Why didn't we come out to play earlier?"
"What I need is this kind of poisonous insect! I can prepare a super powerful medicine!"
In order to save Wen Jin and Yu'er from the hard journey.
Everywhere Xiao Yuchen went, he would stop for two or three days.
It's really like traveling. You can see the places of interest here, climb mountains and enjoy the distance, and try the famous snacks here.
After playing for a while and resting enough, the family of three continued on the road.
And the host's house that hosts them must provide them with food and tea for the journey.
There are even ladies and maids to serve you, and accompanying guards...
Therefore, when they left Kyoto, there was only a family of three.
But as we walked, we became a team! It was like a wealthy businessman going home to visit his relatives.
On this day, Yu'er and two big cats were having fun on the road.
When the big cat met the forest, it became wild and howled to hunt.
Yu'er also discovered a poisonous gas similar to "miasma" in the forest. Where there is poisonous gas, there must be poisonous substances.
He was eager to go in and "collect medicine".
After all this trouble, they wasted most of the day and failed to reach the city where they expected. You can only camp in the wild.
Wen Jin was even more surprised to find that the guards and servants sent by the host who entertained them along the way were very good at setting up camps.
They also have all the tools for setting up camp.
They don't look like ordinary servants from a wealthy family, but like veterans who are accustomed to military life.
Wen Jin took a deep look at Xiao Yuchen and said, "I'm afraid you started planning to 'run away' very early, right?"
Fortunately, she still believed that he was "impulsive".
Xiao Yuchen chuckled, put his arms around her shoulders, and held her hand, "The cunning rabbit still has three burrows. How can a person leave only one path for himself? Look at how happy Yu'er is having fun. Just for this, everything is gone. It’s worth it!”
But they don't know yet that there are dangers lurking beneath the seemingly calm waters...
